Product Information

Full details

The Masterplug 4 Socket Surge Protected Extension Lead is an essential utility for home offices and entertainment centers where multiple devices require reliable power and safety. It provides the ability to power four appliances while simultaneously charging two USB devices, protecting your hardware from sudden voltage spikes. While it is highly functional for desktop setups, users should note that the 2-metre cable length may limit placement options in larger rooms without additional extension cables.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this strip protect against lightning strikes?

It provides protection against common power surges and spikes, but it is recommended to unplug the unit entirely during severe electrical storms.

Can I use this for high-wattage appliances like space heaters?

No, this strip is designed for general home office and entertainment electronics; do not exceed the total wattage limit specified on the product label.

Are the USB ports always on?

Yes, the USB ports are typically active as long as the main unit is plugged into a live wall outlet.

Can I daisy-chain this with another extension lead?

No, daisy-chaining extension leads is a fire hazard and should be avoided.

How do I know if the surge protection has been used up?

The indicator lights on the unit signify that the protection circuit is active. If the lights do not illuminate, the protection may have been compromised.

Troubleshooting

The power indicator light is off

Check that the main wall socket is switched on and that the plug is pushed firmly into the outlet.

USB devices are charging slowly

Ensure that the USB cable is fully inserted and that the device being charged does not exceed the power output capacity of the port.

Device is not receiving power despite the switch being on

Verify the individual switch light is illuminated. If it is not, check the device connection or test the device in a different socket on the strip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Protects sensitive electronics from power spikes
  • Dual USB ports reduce clutter by eliminating wall chargers
  • Individual switches allow for precise power management
  • Wall-mounting option helps manage cable mess
  • Sleek high-gloss black finish fits modern aesthetics

Cons

  • 2-metre cable may be too short for large rooms
  • Bulkier design due to individual switch architecture
  • Not intended for heavy-duty industrial machinery

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your Masterplug lead, place it in a dry, well-ventilated area near your intended wall socket. If wall-mounting, measure the distance between the rear slots and install screws accordingly to hang the unit securely. Always ensure the total load does not exceed the maximum rated wattage to prevent overheating. To clean, use a soft, dry cloth; never use liquid cleaners or aerosols. Periodically inspect the cable for any signs of fraying or damage, and do not attempt to open the casing, as this will void protection and pose a safety risk.
